1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Clearing Assisted Scattering Tomography (CAST) extends coherent scattering tomography to whole-brain imaging, enabling visualization of fine-scale brain-wide connectivity. As a coherent optical tomography modality, CAST is inherently affected by speckle noise, which degrades image quality and limits quantitative analysis. However, existing speckle reduction methods developed for optical coherence tomography (OCT) are not directly transferable to CAST images due to differences in sample and noise statistics. Here, we present a learning-based cleared-sample speckle reduction network, termed CLEAR Net, specifically designed for CAST imaging, which effectively suppresses speckle noise in whole-brain white matter images while preserving fine structural details. We quantitatively benchmarked CLEAR Net against representative speckle reduction algorithms on CAST datasets and further evaluated its generalizability using publicly available ophthalmic datasets.
